A Warning.


Beware of the wife who, as she kisses you
good-by, slips bit of paper into your pocket,
saying:
"There's list of few little things I'd like
you to get on your way to the train. Please don't
overlook any of them. 1t will take you but q
few moments, and want all of them day.
That's a dear"
Jenkins has such wife. He takes the little
slip, says, Yes, my dear; I'll get them"
He gives himself 10 minutes before taking
the train for home. and this is the list:
"Six lemons, dozen oranges, yard of blue
ribbon, dozen shirt buttons, bottle of aconite
pellets, bunch of celery, bottle of vanilla ex-
tract, pound of almonds, pound of maple sugar,
yard Of black cambria, 10 cents worth Of whale
bone, box of glycerine juiubes for baby's cough,
card of hooks and eyes. figs, dates, yard of lace
like sample, shoe-strings for Johnny, paper of
pins. bolt Of blue dress braid and something
for baby"
He arrived home with two lemons and an
orange. and looks unutterable things when
Mrs. Jenkins says:
"You din't have time to get the other thingsP
Why, my dear, could have bought them all in
10 minutes"

regret that instances OF such dissertations Of
the day have occurred. md IL is earnestly hoped
that I'm The future the comrades Of the Grand Army
at least viii refrain from this violation OF the day
set apart TO the memories Of fallen COM
rsdes Let not throw of the tinge OF sacred sad
ness that clusters about Memorial Day, but let IL
live as the day OF sweet remembrances Of our COM
rades whose lives went out that this free Govern
ment might be preserved 10 coming generations.
Much Of the lack Of seriousness in observ-
ing Memorial Day is the outgrOwth not of
intentional disrespect, but of mere thought
lessness as to the solemn associations and
purposes Of the celebration. With mo-
ments reflection we see how out Of place are
hilarity and sport. May the reports of this
years observance prove our Nation has
gained more correct idea of the proper
methods becoming Memorial Day.

SENATOR PaImer,s Re,ideues.

Senator Palmer's Washington house cost him
rooms in it. Their quarters are at the top of
the house, and the kitchen and laundry are in
the attic instead of the basement. The serv-
ants have the front rooms in the fourth story,
looking out upon Mcpherson Square, and they
get the best air that goes. The fuel and eata-
bles are brought up in an elevator, and the
cooking is done upon a range eight feet long
and three feet deep, with as great capacity as
those of the kitchens of the White House. The
whole house is modelled on the same generous
plan. 1t contains in all % rooms and the ele-
vator which runs from story to story is as big
as that of fair-siZed hotel. Each of the cham
bers is fitted out with fine mantels and CRATES,
and each has a bathroom connected with it.
There are nine bathrooms in the Senator's
home, and each Of its many rooms has style

ANOTHER excellent employment has
been suggested for women. 1t is running
elevators-or, as our English cousins call
them, "lifts." This, by the way, is one of
the few English terms that We prefer to our
own. We do not think, for example, that
"brasses for the luggage is better than
Checks for the baggage" but the reverse.
We prefer freight car to goods van, and
conductor" TO "guard y; but we think that
"tram" is better than "street car" and
"lift" than elevator" because they are
shorter and simpler. But we are diverging.
There is no reason in the world why q woman
cannot run lift in hotel or apartment
building fully as weV as a man, and she
ought to be given the chance. In fact, she
is, for several women. and all of them, by the
way, young and pretty, are managing this
species of machinery very successfully. As
running lift pays better than running q
sewing machine, we hope to see more of them
at it.

THOSE who have been watching his course
closely say that the President has found a
way to give smart slap to every Democrat
in the House who opposed the veto of the
Dependent Pension Bill This slap has
usually taken the form of the appointment
in the Congressman's district of some man
to whom the Congressman was opposed. The
slap at Randall took the shape of the ap-
pointment as Postmaster at Harrisburg of q
man who was particularly repugnant to him.

DEPENDENT PENSIONS IN KENTUCKY

DEPENDENT PENSIONS IN KENTUCKY.
Hon. VIM. p. Taulbee, of Kentucky, is one
Of the Democrats from south Of Mason &
Dixon's line who stood up manfully for the
Union veteran in the struggle over the De-
pendent Pension Bill. He was o member of
the Committee on Invalid Pensions, helped
on the bill in committee and in the House,
and Joined in the unanimous report of the
committee against the Presidents veto. He
has not wearied in well-doing. At the re-
cent Democratic Convention Of Kentucky,
Mr.. Taulbee vigorously opposed the plank
in the platform which commended the
President for the fidelity and courage with
which he has protected the Treasury from
pillage by the exercise of the veto power"
Mr. Taulbee said that the veto was an out
rage upon the men who had saved the coun-
try, and it was an insult TO the large majority
in both Houses of Congress that voted for
the bill. He is an eloquent and powerful
speaker, and made an argument which pro-
duced a deep impression on the convention.
A lively discussion ensued, which lasted
parts Of two days, and resulted in the defeat
Of Mr.. Taulbees motion.
MI. Taulbee's earnest and uniiring friend
ship for the veterans ought to and will be
remembered by every one of them and their
friends. He was entirely too young TO enter
the army himself, but he is none the less a
champion OF those who did

REPLY TO GEN, ID. III. HILL.

In THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE next week
will appear an article of especial interest by
Gen. Aquila Wiley, of Wooster, O., in reply
TO the Confederate Gen. ID. III. Hills sketch
of Longstreefs Corps at Chickamauga, in
the April Century. Gen. Wiley was Colonel
of the 41st Ohio, and lost leg at Mission
Ridge. He was most gallant soldier, and
writes as well as he fought.

JEFF DAVIS has broken loose again Gen.
Wolseley's panegyric ON Lee has stirred him
up, because Wolseley says that Lee was
hampered and obstructed by Dayis's med

was allowed to do pretty much as pleased.

THE report that Gen Sheridan is about to
make horseback excursion up the Shenan-
doah Valley-which, by the way, is contra
dicted, and as the General himself is the
author Of the contradiction, we are obliged
to give it some weight-has stirred up Gen.
ROsser TO make a savage attack upon the
hero of Winchester. This reminds US of q
little story: ROsser commanded a crack cav
airy brigade in the rebel army, which was
called the Laurel Brigade" from its being
raised in the mountains, and every man in
it wore a sprig of laurel conspicuously. For
awhile Rosser careered around Sheridan
pretty promiscuously in the Valley, captur-
ing wagons, stragglers and occasional forag-
ing parties. At last Sheridan "got his mad
up" and, going over to Torbert, who COM
manded our cavalry, gave him piece of his
mind in the regular vigorous Sheridan style
The next morning bright and early saw Tor
bert out after Rosser with blood in his eye.
The Laurel Brigade caught it as if it had
monkeyed with the business end of tor
nado, and did not stop running until it
reached Newmarket, % miles away. 1t lost
all its artillery and wagons The next day
old Jubal Early went up to Rosser, and
squealed out in his usual thin, high voice:
"Rosser, you'd better change the name of
your brigade to the Pumpkin Vine The
laurel, you know, isn't a runner"

A LITTLE friction developt last week be-
tween the committee of the survivors Of
Pickett's Division and the Gettysburg Me-
mortal Association. The committee desired
TO place their monument where Gen. Armi-
sted fell, which was the extreme limit of the
charge as an organized movement. This the
association refused, as being contrary to the
rule that all monuments must be on the spot
the organization occupied. The Southern
ers were told, however. that they were well
come to put a marker on the spot where
Gen. Armisted fell, but they declined to ac-
cept the suggestion.

If the Government did its duty and took
care of its broken-down veterans there would
be no necessity for the States to build and
maintain Soldiers and Sailors Homes. Every
one Of these is a monumental protest against

Her Philosophy.

A woman who was house-hunting last week
informed her husband at supper time that she
had secured house on certain street, which
she named.
"H'm!" began the man, "'tseems time it's
long way out. i don't like & locality"
"Locality's nothin'," said his wife, decidedly;
"most every place 10 good ways from some
where"
Which bit Of female philosophy is worth re-
Numbering.

No invitation has as yet been extended to
President Cleveland to visit ST. Louis during
the Encampment and the probability in
creases that none will be. No side-show
business is wanted during the progress of the
Encampment, and this reason would be suffi-
Gent if stronger ones did not exist.
